FOR RECHARGING
HOT BATTERIES
When using your hand vac continuously, the batteries in
your battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot
battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes
before attempting to recharge.
Note: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
your hand vac causes the batteries to become hot. It does
not occur under normal circumstances.
Refer to "CHARG-
ING BATTERY PACK" for normal recharging of batteries.
If the charging assembly does not charge your battery
pack under normal circumstances,
return both the battery
pack and charging assembly to your nearest Sears Repair
Center for electrical check.
